Not Intially Likely.

Aidan Chiles, freshman QB.  I think Smith will try to bring him first and foremost.

Do you make a habit of looking for beefy men in the 18-22 age group?

Oregon State Beavers Players Who Could Enter the Transfer Portal

If those guys are as good as you all purport,  the NIL bidding wars have already started.  

Hopefully MSU's NIL funds are sufficient for MSU make the winning bids.

DJ U is a system level QB. Wasn’t a good fit at Clemson, but is at OSU. They tailored the O around his skill set. Dabo did not. I don’t see the high profile NIL schools (FSU. Tex, Bama, etc.) going after him.

Martinez will definitely get looks from everyone. And OTs are a rare portal commodity. I’m sure Chiles will get some looks, but is he going to get a big NIL deal?

The rest, who knows.

….though LSU might give him a sniff. But still think the fit is critical for him.

Yeah, we might have an advantage, but OSU's best players are going to be wanted by more than MSU.  And even if they love Coach Smith, there are likely going to be many other factors that enter into their decision.

Gotta have cash and deals ready. once the players enter you need the money to get them out of it.

Was listening to mikes segment on the hire and he said he needs to see what the NIL package is going to be. These kids are free agents and ready to be bought. Have the cash ready and a quick turnaround can happen. Don’t need CUM just need cash. All major credit cards accepted.
